A novel boil-off calorimeter with measurements on water, toluene and methylcyclohexane
(1983)
A novel fluid boil-off calorimeter, the first of this type to use electrical techniques, was developed. This calorimeter was calibrated with water from 17 psia to 2325 psia pressure and 142(DEGREES)F to 511(DEGREES) in ...
Design of water reuse facilities for warm water fish culture
(1977)
Design criteria for warm water fish culture utilizing a reuse system were developed. Standard municipal waste treatment methods were used to the maximum extent possible. A trickling filter preceded and followed by settling ...
Supplemental aeration system design for the Houston Ship Channel
(1976)
The oxygen demand on the Houston Ship Channel exceeds its natural assimilative capacity and dissolved oxygen (DO) is depleted so that warm weather and low flow commonly produce zero DO concentration in the upper 14 miles ...
Effects of mercury stress on the ecology of culturable heterotrophic bacteria in aquatic microcosms
The objective of this research was to study the development of communities of culturable heterotrohic bacterial communities in aquatic microcosms. Natural and gnotobiotic communities of culturable heterotrophs were disrupted ...
Phosphate sorption from municipal wastewater by calcareous overland flow systems
(1982)
Adsorption of P from solution by the limed and unlimed soil and sand samples occurred rapidly during the first minute and then decreased. A gradual sorption of P continued for periods greater than 72 hours. Increasing the ...
Removal of dissolved impurities from water by electrochemical action
(1978)
In researching an electrochemical method for the clarification of turbid waters, it was discovered that there may be also some usefulness of this method in removing dissolved impurities. This investigation was initiated ...
Thermodynamic properties of ethylene and water in the critical region
(1978)
The thermodynamic tables of ethylene and water were revised in the critical region by using a new isochoric equation of state. The new tables are consistent with the Hall-Eubank formulation and are compatible with recent ...
Thermophysical properties of gaseous carbon dioxide-water mixtures
(1986)
A Burnett-Isochoric apparatus was used to obtain precise, experimental, vapor-phase P-ρ-T data for pure water and for mixtures of 2%, 5%, 10%, 25%, and 50% water in carbon dioxide for temperatures from 298.15 K to 498.15 ...
The structure of water adsorbed in polymers
(1981)
Water adsorbed in polymers is important for mechanical, electrical, and other physical properties. At low concentrations the water does not freeze but becomes immobile at about 150(DEGREES)K. Polymers have many small ...
